SAG-AFTRA commercials talks starting up


February 22, 2009 Fresh from addressing the AMPTP's "last, best and final offer" on its TV-theatrical contract at a national board meeting Saturday, SAG will join with AFTRA in starting negotiations with the advertising industry for a new broadcast commercials contract. The parties will meet Monday at 2 p.m. EST in New York in a bid to work out a new contract with advertisers and ad agencies in the new-media age. In August, the unions and the JPC bought themselves another five months -- until March 31, 2009 -- to study the results and to give SAG more time to work out its contract issues with the AMPTP.
